This is quite correct grammatically.
The form 'being' is a GERUND. This is a type of verbal noun produced by using the -ing ending on a verb.
For example: I enjoy sleeping. 'sleeping' is a GERUND, the action is a noun but is created from a verb. This is a widely unknown term that is used in everyday speech frequently. (Same with the subjunctive mood)

It's perfectly correct. Or you might ask: Are you upset that I am overweight?

yes, it's correct, in fact it's called a gerund, which means a verb used as a noun. That's why you use 'my', and not 'me' or 'I'
